We stayed in the Gardner's Cottage. A very good breakfast was provided with toast local jams coffee and cereals. A wonderful place to walk around and the history of the family that has owned it for nearly 200 years is very interesting

After visiting Woolmer's we were advised to also find time to visit Brickendon Village. The buildings are beautiful and the home is lovely. It is still being lived in so we were only able to view from the outside. The gardens are green and serene. the church and cottages on the grounds were a delight to behold.

Brickendon Colonial Farm Village is well worth a visit. The Archer family has opened up part of their farm for tourists to visit so that this unique part of our history can be preserved. There is open access to farm buildings to wander through and a good audio visual presentation from an ABC documentary that explains the relationship between Brickendon and Woolmers. The original 2 brothers had very different philosophies and this is reflected in the nature of the two properties. I saw lots of vehicles going past Brickendon to go to Woolmers - a big mistake in my opinion. The understated Brickendon is why Australia prospered in colonial days and why we need to support our farmers today when they are working to preserve our agricultural heritage.The chapel has been restored with original windows re-installed after being moved to other places.The granary is amazing architecture with the pillars raising the three floor building off the ground to discourage vermin from "stealing" the seeds and all built in the very early 1820s.Well worth the visit and will return to follow the path to Woolmers to see other aspects of our agricultural heritage.

We were able to wander around the farm village late on Sunday evening and again early on Monday morning, and we were fortunate to have the place to ourselves due to the lateness/early hour. The village is delightful, photo opportunities abound, the animals are friendly (including the cats who accompanied us on our explorations). The signage explaining the significance of the buildings is interesting and clear. The gardens are lovely, especially as they burst into bloom in Spring. A really fabulous experience connecting us to the convict past.

Don't bother visiting in winter. I felt embarrassed that overseas visitors would turn up at this property and its so unprofessional and unkept. I was frankly flabbergasted. We had to pay $15 on a cold July day and handed a map. Great....couldn't get in buildings, not given any advice except drive across the road to get to the village. You can't go in the main building because the family live there. WE couldn't see in the stables area because it was locked up. So many bldgs locked up. Do they have guides during the summer? I wonder. This would not happen in other countries I have travelled through. Where is the funding going?

I am in utter awe that people actually enjoy visiting Brickendon. I can't believe they charge $12.50 entry fee for this rubbish. It was literally an old farm. Nothing exciting, nothing interesting. Nothing worse seeing.Inside the boring buildings were just farming tools. Honestly I can never get the 30 minutes I spent there back and it makes me sad. It was so uninteresting and lame I can't believe it's a tourist attraction. This is not an attraction.

We didn't have enough time (catching a plane!) to go on the indoors visit (about $20 I think) so took the $14 option to see the outdoors, we were told the rose garden was not in flower seasons, which we expected. The walk was nice and the buildings are beautiful but probably not quite worth the $14, specially when it's not roses season! ...

I spent a couple of hours wandering around this lovely property on a beautiful sunny day and the views across the Norfolk plains were stunning. It is certainly a step back in time, and to read of the prosperity of estates like Brickendon due to the skills and labour of assigned convicts both men and women was of great interest. Numerous photo opportunities abound, not only the old buildings, but also the ducks etc. I was unsure whether access was available to the Chapel, but I unlocked the gate and was pleasantly surprised at the interior of the building, especially the roof line. Admission was very reasonably priced, considering this is a World Heritage Site and a big hit with young children.

We spent several hours exploring Brickendon recently and loved it. I recommend watching the DVD before you explore to better understand the history of the farm village and the families who established Brickendon and nearby Woolmers. The same family has been farming here since the 1820s and there are a lot of buildings to explore. This isn't a stuffy museum but a working farm. The family acknowledge the convict history that helped establish the farm. My favourite buildings were the small church and the shearing shed, although the old farm machinery and the years of decaying paint on buildings and equipment and the old wood were fun to photograph. The gardens of the main farm house were beautiful, even in the middle of summer. There's a lot of trees planted when the gardens were first established more than 170 years ago. I particularly liked the ancient mulberry trees (take a close look at the fruit) and the heady aroma of the flower garden adjacent to the house. I'd like to return for a second or third time. There's a walk from Brickendon across to Woolmers which we had originally planned to visit too but we spent a lot more time at Brickendon than expected, so we'll go back to see it. This is great Tasmanian history that is still alive and well worth a visit.

For the $12.50 per adult entry fee you get the chance to go back in time and be part of a convict-built settlement which now has a world heritage listing. There are about 20 buildings to see including the old wool classing building and a stunning old church. Well worth the visit!

We were greeted with a warm fire in our cottage and as overnight guests given fresh milk, eggs, juice, bread, jam for breakfast. Cooking was easy with a full kitchen and feeding the animals and exploring the grounds kept us busy with family fun activities for several days. Peaceful and quiet nights were filled with farm noises and the sky was lit up with a multitude of stars which as residences of the northern hemisphere, we never have seen before.

We arrived early and were able to help feed the ducks, chooks and pig. Whole family had a great time and the service was good too.Don't forget to visit Woolmers too. Such a great story.

A very interesting and beautifully presented slice of our history. Allow plenty of time to wander the extensive grounds - photo opportunities abound.
